Hold up, travel hackers! There's buzz that Mesa Airlines (yes, the airline!) might be adding Omni Hotels as a transfer partner. Right now, Omni points are like a walled garden – you can only earn them through stays and spending at Omni properties. No other major flexible point programs (think Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, etc.) let you transfer points to Omni.

Why should you care? Well, if this happens, it opens up a new avenue to snag free nights at Omni Hotels using points you might already have sitting around. Mesa has a credit card that's offered a solid 50,000-point bonus in the past, and the addition of Omni as a transfer partner would greatly increase the card's value proposition. While the transfer ratio likely won't be 1:1 (Omni requires 100 credits for a free night and earns credits relatively slowly through paid stays), this could still be a valuable way to stretch your points and experience some luxury. Keep an eye on this one!
